Questions & Answers about Universitetet sender en e-post med adressen til det nye kontoret.

What does Universitetet mean and why does it end in -et?

Universitetet means the university. In Norwegian Bokmål, the definite article (“the”) is often added as a suffix. So universitet = “a university,” and universitetet = “the university.”

Why is sender used here, and what tense is it?

sender is the present tense of å sende (“to send”). Norwegian uses a single simple form for present tense, so jeg sender = “I send” or “I am sending.”

Why do we say en e-post instead of et e-post?

In Norwegian Bokmål e-post is treated as a common‐gender noun, so it takes the indefinite article en. Thus en e-post = “an email.”

Why is the word med used in sender en e-post med adressen?

Here med means with and introduces what the email contains. So literally “sends an email with the address…” rather than “sends an email to the address.”

Why is adressen in the definite form instead of adresse?
